Yet if our world were truly Christian, the change might be a reason for rejoicing. We no longer need our families -- we are therefore free to love them with complete unselfishness. Now at last it is possible to honour our parents genuinely, because they no longer have the power to kill us if we don't. The old sort of honour was sometimes an ugly sham: the son who respects Father only out of fear of punishment is not much of a son, just as the Christian who worships God only out of fear of hell is precious little of a Christian. But the new sort of honour can be a beautiful and holy thing. There are many sweet and sane families bound together by love; there are plenty of experts who remind us that only love can make the modern family work at all. And one must admit that there are plenty of parents very willing to be honoured. The catch is that not so many of them are willing to be honourable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...A being so gentle and so virtuous slander might wound, but could not dishonor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4024]]></link><description><![CDATA[...A being so gentle and so virtuous slander might wound, but could not dishonor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A slender young Blackbird built in a thorn-tree: A spruce little fellow as ever could be;  His bill was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4285]]></link><description><![CDATA[A slender young Blackbird built in a thorn-tree: A spruce little fellow as ever could be;  His bill was so yellow, his feathers so black,   So long was his tail, and so glossy his back,    That good Mrs. B., who sat hatching her eggs,     And only just left them to stretch her poor legs,      And pick for a minute the worm she preferred,       Thought there never was seen such a beautiful bird.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank God, bless God, all ye who suffer not More grief than ye can weep for.
